From 2013 to 2022, the cumulative value of imports and exports between China and BRI partner countries reached US$19.1 trillion, with an average annual growth rate of 6.4 percent. The cumulative two-way investment between China and partner countries reached US$380 billion, including US$240 billio...
Packaging itself takes up almost a third of all plastics production, but only 14 percent of it will be recycled, according to a joint report by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation. And this plastic waste problem is escalating with the rise of e-comm...
“About three-quarters of the world’s renewable energy use involves bioenergy.” Moreover, it “accounted for about 10 percent of total final energy consumption and 1.9 percent of global power generation in 2015.” The U.S. was the world’s largestproducerandexporterof wood pellets...
decade—for example, the cost of some renewable-energy projects has dropped byalmost 90 percent. With capital increasing and some governments already providing fiscal support for low-carbon innovation, there’s a lot of potential in climate technology, even if the net-zero challenge is formidable....
Much of this is being achieved through its various CSR goals, which include achieving carbon neutrality for its vehicles by 2050, attaining zero emissions, and using 100 percent local, renewable energy by 2035. [7] 2. Audit Your Activities Make sure that you invest CSR funding where it will...
Most concentrated solar power technologies will have an efficiency somewhere between 7 and 25 percent. To compare this to the electricity conversion efficiencies of other renewable energy technologies, wind turbines can achieve up to 59 percent efficiency, and hydropower systems can have efficiencies of...
Panels on a south-facing roof with a typical pitch (0 to 55 degrees) will only lose a few percent of their potential production compared to a roof with an ideal tilt. SETO sent us an example: In San Diego, where the typical roof is tilted at 18 degrees (a 4:12 roof), a south-...
Renewable hydrogen will be critical to the energy transition. Production costs are expected to fall byapproximately 30 percentby 2030. After 2024, nearly all new hydrogen production is expected to create clean (that is, green or blue) hydrogen. By contrast, the production of gray hydrogen is pr...

This surge of current is needed to turn the engine over during starting. Once the engine starts, the alternator provides all the power that the car needs, so a car battery may go through its entire life without ever being drained more than 20 percent of its total capacity. Used in this ...
